If I had received that letter I would have red-penned it and sent it back to them! Stuff like that drives me buggy!

Oh my!
I find myself typing so fast that I mess up your and you’re. Well, not really. I type fast and then stop and have to think about which one to use. I *almost* always catch ‘em.

But handwritten? That does look quite sloppy. And makes you question if they know what they are doing!

I was never a teacher, just the family/friend spellcheck. Misspellings and grammar mistakes drive me batshit, ESPECIALLY when it’s supposed to be a professional type outfit.

When I was an editor at the 49ers, I used a purple pen. The interns called it the Purple Pen of Death.

This drives me crazy! The sad part is that most likely the author did not understand the difference between your and you’re. The note really lacks professionalism.

I must say that I disagree about the comments about cursive writing. I think this is an art that should be left behind. Most documents ask that you print because the handwriting of the majority of people is unreadable (mine included).

Hey…I am trying to start blogging again…after almost a years delay. Check it out when you have time!!
